Does gecko-mediaplayer uses gstreamer codecs such as gstreamer0.10-base-plugins gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg or is it only totem-plugin that does? I it necessary to have gstreamer codecs installed if you only want to use gecko-mediaplayer?
View 1 RepliesFirst the issue is that when streaming long videos the playback would suddenly stop and I would need to restart playback manually and drag the progress bar to the correct position to resume playback. I think this is because buffering is not keeping up.
I would like to find a way to configure gnome-mplayer so that playback would just pause when buffer is running low and resumes as it grows, is that possible?
In order to do this I have been playing with the cache setting in gnome-mplayer.
Here are a few questions and observations.
1) In gnome-mplayer there are two cache settings, one go under the Preference > Mplayer tab, the other under Preference > Plugins. What is the difference?
2) I notice that if I set the plugin cache to be minimum then playback will not start until the 20% mark is reached, iit will take longer to start and the playback will last longer before buffer runs out. On the other hand if plugin cache is set to some large value then playback will start almost instantly (~ 1%) but also stops very quickly.
The question is 20% of what? I thought it means 20% of cache size so it should take longer to fill if the cache is set bigger, this seems to be the other way around.
3) With audio stream (say radio) it seems to be the opposite, if plugin cache is small then playback starts immediately, if it is big then it takes longer.
I would like to make sense of this and understand the logic behind it
P.S. Gnome-mplayer in Natty (as oppose to earlier versions) actually has too cache size options under Preference > Plugins but they don't seem to behave independently, for example, I set video cache to be large and audio cache to be small then according to 3) above (and the small audio cache) audio playback should start instantly but instead it takes a while so the size of the video cache has an effect even without video streaming.
I was wondering if there's another way than gecko-mediaplayer to play divx movies on the web. In chromium gecko sometimes freezes,usually when only 10 minutes are left from the movie and that's just freaking annoying, and you can't fast forward or backward also. Though it has some good things too I would like to know if there's an alternative for it in chromium, something like using vlc as in firefox.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have set an option for Gecko Mediaplayer to work properly on [URL] in firefox 4. I think it was something like this
QuickTime/7.6.2 ( qtver=7.6.2 ; os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3 )
Now gmail doesn't detect Firefox and gives me the Basic html view , asks me to upgrade to Firefox.
Yo so there is a problem in the version in the repo so I posted it on the message board on google code for that project and the author told me to get the version from SVN. So I did that but it's not compiling. He's not sure how to fix it and says he's never seen this message before. I'm guessing this is a Debian prob; I'm on Debian Sid.
bash@debian:~/Downloads/gecko-mediaplayer-read-only$ make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bash/Downloads/gecko-mediaplayer-read-only'
Making all in src
[Code]....
Note: I compiled "gnome mediaplayer" from the SVN fine that is needed by this plugin. I've also does "apt-get build-dep" for both gnome mplayer and gecko plugin.
I am using the following:
ubuntu 10.04 LTS
firefox 3.6.17
totem 2.30.2
As it stands, if I play an mp3 file via the web, firefox will launch totem which will in turn launch goom.
Looks nice, but I would like to turn off the Visualisation which takes up the entire CPU. I try under firefox preferences, Edit->Preferences->Plugins, there isn't anything there I can change.
I try under firefox Utils->Plugins and there isn't anything there I can change.I try using gconf-editor, there are different settings there I can play with like: Under /apps/totem/visual it has the setting "GOOM: what a GOOM!", I try and delete it, it doesn't change anything.
Still with gconf-editor I try changing /apps/totem/plugins/screensaver turning the setting of "active" to uncheck. No change, goom still comes up with the fantastic graphics I just don't want. Still with gconf-editor I try changing /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/visualization from "goom" to blank. Again, no change.
If I look under the process list while totem is running goom I see the following: /usr/lib/totem/totem-plugin-viewer --plugin-type cone --user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; fr; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110422 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.17 --referrer http://blah blah blah blah.mp3 --mimetype audio/mpeg
There doesn't seem to be anywhere I can change the command line which is being passed to totem to make it behave differently and turn off the goom visualizations. I have tried starting up totem as a stand alone application, there I go into Edit->Preferences->Display and make sure the choice for "Show visual effects when an audio file is played" is unticked. That gives me the results I am after for totem as a stand alone application, which is no Visualizations whem audio file is being played BUT It makes no change for totem running as a plugin in firefox.
I am trying to backup some commercial DVD movies which I own. I just want to take them with me abroad without filling up my luggage with DVD cases. So there are no copyright issues here and I will do it anyway, the only point is that if I can convert them to .avi I can save 4 or 5 movies on a blank DVD whereas if I have to copy the .iso images I can only save one DVD per blank DVD. So it's a bit of a waste.
dvdrip doesn't work on this one, so I tried via vlc. It was still running when I went to bed and this morning I had to reboot, I didn't think about it so I didn't check to see whether it had finished or not before rebooting. I decided to check the output file before writing it to a DVD and clicked on it. Totem told me it didn't have the required plugin and asked me whether I wanted to install it. I said yes and was asked for root password. It offered one choice:
GStreamer fluendo MPEG2 demuxing plugin Fluendo codecs to decode mpeg streams I clicked on "install". It started to do something - the mouse cursor turns into a little spinning wheel when I hover over it - and it stayed like that. It's been like that for the last 3 quarters of an hour.
I installed the greasemonkey script "..... without flash auto" to replace the ..... player with the default totem plug-in in firefox. The script is awesome because now I don't get bogged down with flash when watching ......
Everything works as expected, but the problem is that the plugin doesn't stream, I have to wait until the video finishes loading before I can play it. Ironically, if i don't use the plugin and directly open the video cache in /tmp with totem, it was able to play even when the video wasn't finished loading.
I am not sure if this is normal, but I find it a huge annoyance. Does anyone else running this script have the same problem? I don't know if it is the script, the plugin, or my configs in general. A push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
im running Xubuntu 10.04 btw
The symptom is that I can't no more listen to my favorite Web Radio [URL] if you want get a try, very good music: ). It's a steaming with the url like "mms://web-stite-broadcasting". I swear few upgrades ago it was working. I can't remember when exactly stopped, probably with the last firefox update. What happen? I can see the Totem Browser Plugin 2.30.2 loading and then..."Stopped", he says. If I click on "open with Movie Player", Totem starts and give the error "Could Not Write to resource".
Beside curse my browser I purged/reinstalled firefox and some plugins without success. The odd thing is that other web radios seems to play when, as I can see, the (in)famous plugin-container is not executed, I don't know why.
Sometimes for web TV one is offered a menu where the video is divided into sub chapters where you can jump right to this part of the video by clicking in a chapter menu (very similar to playing a DVD). Well, this does not work for me. Clicking a sub chapter only set the video to play from start, and sliding the bar only freezes the player with a white screen. I'm running 10.04 (64b), Firefox 3.6.9, with the latest Totem-plugin.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a Rhythmbox style mediaplayer that plays dts music.VLC works excellent but it would be very nice with a GUI more suited for a music library (Artist/Album/Genre/..).I have a dual screen setup and I have the music on a separate 8" touch screen (MyhtTv on the other screen - the tv) so if there is a software handling both reular mp3/flac/ogg music and dts with a touch screen adapted gui that would be ideal.

Since I installed my new debian squeeze system with gnome 2.30.2 I got problems with totem and totem-xine application.
Problem 1: The file asociation for .avi does always open totem! I changed the .avi file asociation unter -> preferences -> "preferred applications" for example to vlc... but no chance it always open the totem player. I looked also in the gnome configuration tool (gconf) and there is the file asociaton set on vlc, but he still opens totem.
Problem 2: All .avi files with video content I cannot see the video and I hear only the audio stream. If I open the video I got a popup with the message that the codec is not installed, then I click on search codecs and totem search for it and does not found anything. I have the codec installed because I see it in avidemux...
- If I install only totem I install also all gstreamer packages ...
- If I install totem-xine I install all xine plugins packackages etc ...
- If I use vlc or mplayer all works fine ...
- If I start totem over a console shell and I open the video, I get no error message in the shell.
I use nv18 with nouveau. Why equlizer does not work?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHere's a plugin that lets VLC from wheezy-backports play h.265 content. I packaged it for the MEPIS 12 repo, but it should work on wheezy. [URL] ....
Or create your own packages against Debian's stock VLC 2.0.3, that might work.
You need to install the libde265 package first, then the plugin package.
You can use the static ffmpeg binaries from ffmpeg.org to encode to that h.265 (hevc) codec, but it will take quite a while.
Code: Select all./ffmpeg -i [inputfile] -vcodec hevc [outputfile] Try mp4 or mkv for the output file extension.
The good news is that it will create video of the same quality that is half the size of a comparable h.264 file. This is handy for putting movies on space-limited storage, such as on a phone or tablet. I do know that MX Player on Android can play h.265 video.

I just updated my distribution to 11.3 from 11.2. But now this problem occurs when I try to play an mp3. There was no problem before with 11.2.
It also says
Code:
The following plugin is required : MPEG-4 AAC decoder
Only certain mp3s have this problem. All gstreamer packages have been installed. What package is missing anyway?
After the upgrade to Iceweasel 31.3, there has been messages popping up saying the browser has detected an outdated plugin and need your approval to run it. Since Debian is known for having old packages, I'd assume it's safe to ignore this message?
On another note, I visited a webpage but cannot load, it was blank. I visit the same website on another browser and it displays correctly. What could be wrong?
Running it from a terminal, every few minutes this happens:(evolution:25607): libsoup-CRITICAL **: set_ current_request: assertion `priv->cur_req == NULL' failed Segmentation fault..Found lots of cases that mention Gentoo (and Evolution 2.4) and this bug, but nothing with Debian. Bug is apparently due to the version of libsoup that Evolution is compiled against.Install is relatively fresh; about a day old. Packages are the latest updates.
